An opportunity came to me (no, I wasn't consciously looking) in the form of a new job. This will give me more time with the kids via a flexible schedule, lessened commute and allow me to grow my skills in other technical areas. Basically my career right now is in Business Intelligence, which can be summarized in getting various business areas (i.e. marketing, finance, operations) the information/data they need to complete their tasks. It doesn't sound very hard, but it can be very challenging from both a technology and people perspective.
I am the luckiest person I know. I do not know anyone who is luckier in life than me. I do not write that with any conceit, it's just an observation. Most of those close to me say I'm the luckiest person they know too. When I said this to a friend of mine, he sent me a quote by Thomas Jefferson that describes his thoughts on luck. "I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." I still say I'm lucky, but I do know that I work hard too. Hopefully my girls with inherit both Daddy's and my work ethic as well as our luck.
